This function is always available when a file list window or file list dialog box is
displayed on the screen.
Editor Overview
This section introduces the editor screen, describes the screen elements, and
discusses concepts common to most of the editors. Refer to the Reference section
for more detailed information about each waveform editor.
This section also provides an overview of the AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform
Generator waveform editors. There are five editors that provide the tools for
creating simple or complicated waveforms. Having more than one editor allows
you to create waveforms using your preferred method or the one best suited to
the waveform type.
The Edit menu, displayed by pushing the EDIT front-panel button, is the main
way to open editors. Most of the editor screens have common elements except
for the Sequence and Equation editors.
The AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator provides five editor modes, as
listed in Table 2–9. These editors let you create, edit, and sequence waveforms
using the technique best suited to your waveform. You can access these editors
through the main Edit screen, which is described on page 2–26.
Table 2-9: Editors
Editors Description
Waveform Editor Creates and edits analog waveforms.
Quick Editor
Lets you modify and/or output, in real time, any part of a waveform you are
currently editing with the Waveform Editor.
Pattern Editor Creates and edits digital waveform patterns.
Sequence Editor Creates and edits tables that define the sequence and control conditions for
outputting one or more waveforms.
Text/Equation
Editor
Creates, edits, and compiles equation waveform definitions into a waveform
file. You can also use this editor to edit ASCIIĆformat waveform data files
created by other equipment (such as Tektronix Digital Sampling oscilloĆ
scopes).
